Take a notebook with you and spend an hour or two at a sports bar or restaurant. Notice couples, their interactions on several levels and write their details in body language.
l. How do they walk in together?
2. Notice their approaches to each other and the menu.
3. Write how they address the wait persons. Use their choices of food to define them or create conflict. Do they share food?
4. Examine the details of their body language and facial gestures.
5. Can you imagine what's going on in their conversation just by observing their silent language?
Design a story or poem entirely in dialogue that involves a power struggle set at a restaurant. Use gestures of hands and arms to show emotions and action. Create a current to run beneath your dialogue to reveal an aspect of their relationship?
